Exactly, and no-one wants to dress up as a dick. Let me rephrase, yes he was pretty cool but he was NOT a very well-rebooted Dante, and never will be. Compared to the original, the DmC reboot Dante wasa dick. I would disagree on him being 'cool' due to the fact that he would throw around 'Fuck you!' to everything he sees, but he's not as bad as DmC Vergil. Oh no, Dante was still pretty cool in an emo gothic type of way, like I said, nothing like the original.

But yes, DmC Vergil was an utter disgrace to the reboot of the franchise. In no way shape or form is that Vergil, apart from generic appearance. Well, I only liked DmC Dante in the Downfall DLC and All-Stars Battle Royale. He didn't swear as much, and behaved like a some-what snarky kid with a superiority complex (in the DLC).

However, DmC Vergil was NOT an unlikeable character. What made him a bad, confusing and awkward villain is that reason-less battle at the end of the game, as explained by HyperBitHero in his DmC Vergil Devious Intent video:

"This is such a forced conflict. The two go from close allies to bitter enemies just because Vergil even SUGGESTED that they rule the world."

It's just bad writing, and a poorly executed reboot to a character. I really don't know if I feel that there was potential in the idea they were going with or not, but either way, the end result wasn't good. He's not an unlikeable character, no, but he is nowhere near where the original Vergil is. He does not give a good look to the rebooted version of Vergil. Compared to the original, DmC Vergil is shit.

And yes, every bit of the story writing was shit. The only thing holding it up was the gameplay, which was stellar.
